Ashley: To Hook Up, Or Not to Hook Up

When you first get to college, be prepared for some wilding out to go on. People are going to encourage you not to take anyone seriously and just to have fun. To some extent I think this is good advice, but it can be taken a little overboard at times. For one, young women just have to realize that you can get a reputation, and it can hurt you.

It's quite sad that some women have to go through this because "girls just want to have fun." Unfortunately, society does not work like that, and college is even worse in that people thrive off of gossip, drama, and rumors. With that said, I just want to advise girls out there to think twice before you start a casual courtship with a guy in school.

Some girls feel as though they really are in control with they randomly hook up with guys, but eventually they end up hurt, disappointed, or talked about.

I've already had to make some hard decisions this year that left me getting the short end of the stick, seemingly. In reality, though, I don't have to worry about dealing with someone who doesn't respect or care about me in the way that I deserve. It's a matter of discovering your worth and not settling for less.

It's okay I'm not that desperate or lonely that I need to be degraded to something I'm not. I'll take the high road, thank you.
